Aluminum is gathered in containers which are then collected by an authorized agent. In 2012, 82,318 kg of aluminum thus produced were melted down for the development of new products. Pressprint recycles -either at our own plants in Madrid and Barcelona, or through outsourcing- residual paper as well as returned newspapers and magazine supplements. Waste and residue generated during the printing process are classified by potential use and are removed by recycling companies. Returned newspapers and magazine supplements are recycled by companies located nearby the distributors’ collection depots. We ensure that recycling companies possess the appropriate certification in waste management and disposal. 2012-11 Other recycled waste includes plastic containers, oils, toners, and scrap iron, copper and other materials generated in the decommissioning of obsolete machinery.
